				<title>reverse geocoding streetnames from a two point line segment</title>
				<description><![CDATA[ I have a shapefile provided to me by the city government that contains polylines that should correspond to a subset of city streets. However the streetnames are not included in this data set. (I have contacted them and they will not provide a data set with names). I would like to iterate over every two point line segment and determine the correct name of the street. Using the nearbystreets ws I am able to guess but this turns out to be very inaccurate overall. There must be a more accurate way of guessing the streetnames when I have more than one point along the street.

Is there a ws that provides this, or can anyone suggest an algorithm or heuristic that would more accurately guess the street names?]]></description>
